About CDWN
Center for Dalit Women (CDWN) is a national non-governmental organization dedicated to helping Dalit and marginalized women claim their rights, develop economically, and live in dignity. Dalit activists founded the organization in March 2016 after partnering with Empower Dalit Women of Nepal USA (www.edwon.org) to carry forward their work. CDWN is based in Kathmandu but works in rural districts.
CDWN has since partnered with three national NGOs to form the Dalit NGO Consortium, a network that seeks to improve the dignified living conditions of Dalit communities. With funding from the Lutheran World Federation, the consortium is implementing a one-year project “Dalit empowerment for Recovery and Fighting against Inequalities” in the earthquake-affected Dolakha District. CDWN is taking the lead on ‘Gender Justice’ programming.
